God's Commands in the New Testament

Jesus commanded us in the second
half of the Great Commission to teach others to observe ALL that He has
commanded us. We first need to know the commands ourselves well enough so that
we can teach others to observe them.View an Uncategorized List of Commands

conceits.

you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment.

Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels
and mercies, (2) Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,

thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even
this unto you.

attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

a man declare it unto you.

Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in
rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one
receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

the lust of the flesh.

Ephesians 2:11-12 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in
the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (12) That at that time ye were without
Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the
covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

Philippians 1:27-28 Only let your conversation be as it
becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be
absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one
mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; (28) And in nothing
terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition,
but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The
Lord [is] at hand.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many
witnesses.

2Timothy 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David
was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound
doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in
charity, in patience. 3 The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as
becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good
things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children, 5 [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home,
good, obedient to their on husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 6
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 7 In all things shewing thyself a
pattern of good works: in doctrine [shewing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part
may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 9 [Exhort] servants to be
obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things];
not answering again; 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they
may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Titus 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
that they be not unfruitful.

James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus
Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

by the law of liberty.

1 Peter 2:11-12 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; (12) Having your
conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as
evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in
the day of visitation.

Church Discipline

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and
offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

1Corrinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye
are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the
spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

1Corrinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye
may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is
sacrificed for us:

1Corrinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company
with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or
with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go
out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any
man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For
what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that
are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from
among yourselves that wicked person.

1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be
Anathema Maranatha.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye
which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering
thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

1Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that
are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all
[men].

2Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that
walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

2Thessalonians 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this
epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15
Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

1Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also
may fear. 21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before
another, doing nothing by partiality. 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither
be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and
deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy
lucre's sake. 12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not
giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second
admonition reject;

11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth,
being condemned of himself.

Revelation 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly,
and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Church Service

John 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things
hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.

1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every
one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath
an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

1 Corinthians 14:27-30 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by
two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. (28)
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him
speak to himself, and to God. (29) Let the prophets speak two or three, and let
the other judge. (30) If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let
the first hold his peace.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is
not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience,
as also saith the law. (35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

1 Thessalonians 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto
all the holy brethren.

1 Timothy 2:11-12 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. (12)
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to
be in silence.

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto
love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more,
as ye see the day approaching.

Commands

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments
of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1 Timothy 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable,
until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves.

2John 1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the
commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in
it.

Commands — Old Testament

Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or
the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (18) For verily I say
unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (19) Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
Honor thy father and mother.

Luke 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father
and thy mother.

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this
saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

James 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor
of the law.

James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of
liberty.

Communication

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
unto the hearers.

Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath,
malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put
off the old man with his deeds;

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned
with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself
rather unto godliness.

2 Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before
the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of
the hearers.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and
contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be
swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Jam 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.

Jam 4:13-15 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a
city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: (14) Whereas ye
know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. (15) For that ye
ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

1 Peter 3:10-11 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: (11) Let
him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

Communion

Matthew 26:26-29 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and
blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
this is my body. (27) And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, Drink ye all of it; (28) For this is my blood of the new testament,
which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (29) But I say unto you, I
will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink
it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Mark 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed,
and brake [it], and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

this, and divide it among yourselves:

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it,
and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in
remembrance of me.

John 13:14-15 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your
feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an
example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread
of sincerity and truth.

1Corrinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake
[it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had
supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as
ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.

1Corrinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let
him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.

1Corrinthians 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come
together to eat, tarry one for another. 34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at
home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in
order when I come.

Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put
off the old man with his deeds;

Complaining

John 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur
not among yourselves.

1Corrinthians 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also
murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

disputings:

condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

2 Peter 3:17-18 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your
own steadfastness. (18) But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

Revelation 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

Revelation3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that
no man take thy crown.

Coveting

Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things
which he possesseth.

1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto
you a more excellent way.

Galatians 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking
one another, envying one another.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but
rather giving of thanks.

Hebrews 13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness;
[and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never
leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Convictions

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful
disputations.

Romans 14:5-7 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6 He that
regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the
day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for
he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not to the Lord he eateth not, and
giveth God thanks. 7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to
himself.

2Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold
the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)

Deception

things.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for
many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go
ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be
not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by
and by.

1Corrinthians 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among
you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
wise.

1Corrinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall.

1Corrinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications

and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him,

no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of
me.

Luke 9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one
casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with

is for us.

spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

John 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father
in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is]
that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the
grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself]
more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath
dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the
Lord;

Romans 13:12-14 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us
walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering
and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

1Corrinthians 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as
the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all
churches. 18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 19
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the
commandments of God. 20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was
called. 21 Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou
mayest be made free, use [it] rather. 22 For he that is called in the Lord,
[being] a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called,
[being] free, is Christ's servant. 23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the
servants of men. 24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide
with God.

1Corrinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or
whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will
receive you,

2Corrinthians 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward
appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself
think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we Christ's.

Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given
himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 3
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named
among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye
know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an
idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man
deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God
upon the children of disobedience.

Ephesians 5:8-10 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye
light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (9) (For the fruit of the Spirit
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) (10) Proving what is acceptable
unto the Lord.

Ephesians 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as
fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and
in the power of his might.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus:

obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and
mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and
received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the
Lord, [so] walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those
things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (2) Set
your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
longsuffering;

1Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought
to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more.

1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an
example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
faith, in purity.

1 Timothy 6:9-11 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and
perdition. (10) For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows. (11) But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow
after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

2Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus.

2Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the
name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.

Titus 2:2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in
charity, in patience.

Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
(4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to
love their children, (5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient
to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Titus 2:6-8 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. (7) In all things
showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness,
gravity, sincerity, (8) Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is
of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm
constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain
good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Hebrews 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any
of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

your hearts, as in the provocation.

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering
into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest,
lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that
is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our]
profession.

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of
Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of
baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of
eternal judgment.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with
pure water.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with
so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which
doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set
before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for
the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is
set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured
such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in
your minds.

Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be
moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and
godly fear:

Hebrews 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
his reproach.

1Peter 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect
of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your
sojourning [here] in fear:

1Peter 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile,
and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire
the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have
tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

1Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the
flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in
the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your
faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to
temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly
kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you,
and abound, they make [you that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in
the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is
blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his
old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling
and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

2Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

1John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If
any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the
beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you,
ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

1John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall
appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

2John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

3John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that
which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not
seen God.

Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is
filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Discipleship - Holiness

1Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ;

1Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye
holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I
am holy.

1Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and
pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12 Having your
conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as
evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God
in the day of visitation.

Divorce and Remarriage

Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away
his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:
and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery

Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Mark 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his
wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman
shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

1Corrinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I,
but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband: 11 But and if she
depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not
the husband put away [his] wife. 12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If
any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with
him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that
believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife
is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they
holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is
not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace.

1 Corinthians 7:27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art
thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

Dress

1Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves
in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or
gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing
godliness) with good works.

1Peter 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning]
of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But
[let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even
the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great
price.

Education

Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither
cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and
turn again and rend you.

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath,
to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
which he seemeth to have.

Luke 14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the
dunghill; [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in
all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth
to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
yours;

Encouragement

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one
another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Employment

Ephesians 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your
masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your
heart, as unto Christ;

Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them,
forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is
there respect of persons with him.

Colossians 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters
according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness
of heart, fearing God:

Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is
just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

1 Timothy 6:1-2 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own
masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not
blasphemed. (2) And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them,
because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful
and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

Titus 2:9-10 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to
please them well in all things; not answering again; (10) Not purloining, but
showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in
all things.

1Pe 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the
good and gentle, but also to the froward.

End Times

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is
not yet.

Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso
readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing
out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take
his clothes.

Matthew 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the
winter, neither on the sabbath day:

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour
as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Mark 13:7-13 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars,
be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
(8) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles:
these are the beginnings of sorrows. (9) But take heed to yourselves: for they
shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and
ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them. (10) And the gospel must first be published among all nations. (11) But
when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye
shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in
that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. (12)
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and
children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to
death. (13) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that
shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mark 13:14-23 But when ye shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, let
(him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the
mountains: (15) And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house,
neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: (16) And let him that
is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. (17) But woe to
them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! (18) And
pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. (19) For in those days shall be
affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created
unto this time, neither shall be. (20) And except that the Lord had shortened
those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
chosen, he hath shortened the days. (21) And then if any man shall say to you,
Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: (22) For false Christs
and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if
it were possible, even the elect. (23) But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold
you all things.

Mark 13:28-29 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
(29) So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know
that it is nigh, even at the doors.

Mark 13:32-33 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. (33) Take
ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Mark 13:35-37 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the
master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or
in the morning: (36) Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. (37) And what I
say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Luke 12:35-36 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights

unto him immediately.

look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Luke 21:29-31 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig
tree, and all the trees; (30) When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your
own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. (31) So likewise ye, when ye see
these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your
hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
and [so] that day come upon you unawares.

accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to
stand before the Son of man.

of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,

2 Timothy 3:1-5 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. (2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (3) Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good, (4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God; (5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away.

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of
the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth,
and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be
ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

2Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,

day.

things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless.

Jude 1:17-18 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; (18) How that they told you there should
be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

turn not thou away.

good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.

merciful.

Luke 10:37 And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said
Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you,
live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but
[rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his
head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one may edify another.

eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor
silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two
coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy;
and there abide till ye go thence. 12 And when ye come into a house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not
worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not receive you,
nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the
dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16

as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver

only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse: 9 But [be] shod with
sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he said unto them, In what place
soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11

you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
than for that city.

city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy
also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place,
whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly
[is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3 Go your ways:
behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither purse, nor
scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye
enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. 6 And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7 And in the
same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the
labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8 And into
whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set
before you: 9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom
of God is come nigh unto you. 10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they
receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even
the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you:

you. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for
Sodom, than for that city.

garment spotted by the flesh.

God.

Mark 11:23-24 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall
say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith
shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto
you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them.

in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good
profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who
quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep [this] commandment without spot,
unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

False Teaching

Hebrews 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange
doctrines. For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with

grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have
been occupied therein.

1 Timothy 1:3-5 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went
into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other
doctrine, (4) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. (5) Now
the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good
conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself
rather unto godliness.

1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding
profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

2 Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before
the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of
the hearers.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they
do engender strifes.

Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Hebrews 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it
is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which
have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

False Teachers

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or
else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit.

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the
blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Matthew 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of
the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Mark 8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

Mark 12:38-40 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of
the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the
marketplaces, (39) And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost
rooms at feasts: (40) Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

Mark 13:5-6 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed
lest any man deceive you: (6) For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many.

an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he
began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long
robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the
synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47 Which devour widows' houses, and
for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and
offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

1Corrinthians 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of
the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all
things are yours;

Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware
of the concision.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome
words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is
according to godliness; (4) He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil
surmisings. (5) Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of
the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

2Timothy 2:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they
will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a
canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

Titus 1:10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and
deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11 Whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy
lucre's sake. 12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The
Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 Not
giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into
the world.

2John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:

Fasting

Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites,
of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto
men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17 But thou, when
thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18 That thou appear not unto
men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth
in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Fear

Luke 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee,
which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
henceforth thou shalt catch men.

Luke 12:4-5 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of
them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. (5) But I
will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath
power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Luke 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the kingdom.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God,
believe also in me.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

Food

1 Corinthians 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the meat market, that eat, asking
no question for conscience sake:

1 Corinthians 10:27-29 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast,
and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question
for conscience sake. (28) But if any man say unto you, This is offered in
sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience
sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof: (29) Conscience, I
say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another
man's conscience?

1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God.

1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's
sake and thine often infirmities.

Fornication

1Corrinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth
is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own
body.

1Corrinthians 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some
of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Ephesians 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or
covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither
filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but
rather giving of thanks.

1Thessalonians 4:2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by
the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that
ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to
possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of
concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6 That no [man] go
beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the
avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

Giving

Matthew 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that
would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to
be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as
the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory
of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms
may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee
openly.

Luke 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two
coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do
likewise.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you
again.

Luke 11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and,
behold, all things are clean unto you.

Luke 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves
bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no
thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have
given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. (2) Upon the first day of
the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him,
that there be no gatherings when I come.

2 Corinthians 8:11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a
readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye
have.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let
him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
highminded; nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us
richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good
works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on
eternal life.

1 John 3:17-18 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have
need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love
of God in him? (18) My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Greatest Commands

Matthew 22:36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the
law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and
great commandment. 39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.

Mark 12:29-30 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: (30) And thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Luke 10:27-28 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. (28) And he said unto him,
Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

Government

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no
power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Romans 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have
praise of the same:

Romans 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do
that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is
the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Romans 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also
for conscience sake.

Romans 13:6-7 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all
their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom
fear; honor to whom honor.

Titus 3:1-2 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to
obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, (2) To speak evil of no man,
to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.

1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake:
whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1 Corinthians 11:6-7 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn:
but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. (7)
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and
glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto
God uncovered?

Hearing God

Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun
in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them,
Hear, and understand:

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Mark 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

Mark 4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear.

Mark 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he
said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Mark 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he
said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

Mark 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath,
to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
which he seemeth to have.

Luke 14:35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the
dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 18:6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge
saith.

Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if
they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we
[escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:

Hebrews 13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:
for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this
world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them
that love him?

Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
second death.

Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].

Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches.

Hold Fast

Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which
thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Holy Kiss

Romans 16:16 Salute one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ
salute you.

1Corrinthians 16:20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one
another with an holy kiss.

1Thessalonians 5:26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

1Peter 5:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace
[be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Holy Spirit

John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and
saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.

Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving
thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

1Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.

Hospitality

Luke 14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou
makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a
recompence be made thee. 13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the
maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot
recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

1 Peter 4:9-10 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. (10) As every
man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good
stewards of the manifold grace of God.

3John 1:8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers
to the truth.

Humility

Matthew 23:8-10 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your
Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father upon
the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called
masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Luke 14:8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit
not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of
him;

Luke 14:10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the
lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend,
go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at
meat with thee.

Luke 17:10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those
things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done
that which was our duty to do.

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is
among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of
faith.

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in
honor preferring one another;

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things,
but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
yours;

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed
lest he fall.

2 Corinthians 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Galatians 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
envying one another.

Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or
vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves.

Philippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus: (6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God: (7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (8) And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the
death of the cross.

Jam 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you
up.

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all
of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God
resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time:

Idolatry

1Corrinthians 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of
them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to
play.

1Corrinthians 10:14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from
idolatry.

1Corrinthians 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that]
eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

1John 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols.
Amen.

Judging

Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall
be measured to you again.

Matthew 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of
thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother's eye.

Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one
casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us.

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which
shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not,
and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Luke 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother,
let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not
the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out
of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is
in thy brother's eye.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment.

Romans 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not
to doubtful disputations. 2 For one believeth that he may eat all things:
another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3 Let not him that eateth despise him that
eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath
received him.

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more:
but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall
in [his] brother's way.

1Corrinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time,
until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have
praise of God.

1Corrinthians 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things
pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

1Corrinthians 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I
say.

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath
[days]: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that
speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the
law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the
law, but a judge.

Lawsuits

Luke 12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the
magistrate, [as thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be
delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59 I tell thee, thou
shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Leadership

Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Ye
know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that
are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but
whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever
will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many.

Matthew 23:2-7 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in
Moses' seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and
do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind
heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but
they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their
works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and
enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts,
and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be
called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your
Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren 9 And call no [man] your father
upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye
called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ. 11 But he that is
greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself
shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Mark 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith
unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and
servant of all.

Luke 22:25-26 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are
called benefactors. (26) But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among
you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

John 21:15-17 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon
Peter, Simon, son of Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest thou me? He
saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jona, lovest
thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou
me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I
love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Acts 20:28-31 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all
the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the
church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this,
that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing
the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things,
to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the
space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with
tears.

1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ,
and stewards of the mysteries of God.

1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not
muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for
oxen?

1Corrinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the
churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded]
to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any
thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak
in the church.

Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them,
forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is
there respect of persons with him.

Philippians 2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all
gladness; and hold such in reputation:

Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is
just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

Colossians 4:17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry
which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.

1Thessalonians 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them
which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13 And
to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace
among yourselves.

1Thessalonians 5:25 Brethren, pray for us.

2Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the
word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with
you:

1 Timothy 1:18-19 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to
the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good
warfare; (19) Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away
concerning faith have made shipwreck:

1Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all
men; 2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet
and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all
subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.

1Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of
one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to
teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient,
not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his
children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule
his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice,
lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into
reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave,
not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding
the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be
proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [found] blameless. 11
Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all
things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children
and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon
well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which
is in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the
believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in
purity.

1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear
thee.

1 Timothy 5:1-2 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the
younger men as brethren; (2) The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters,
with all purity.

1 Timothy 5:7 And these things give in charge, that they may be
blameless.

1 Timothy 5:17-18 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double
honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine. (18) For the
Scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And,
The laborer is worthy of his reward.

1 Timothy 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or
three witnesses.

1Timothy 5:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring
one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

2Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir
up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God
hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound
mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me
his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to
the power of God;

2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:6-7 The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the
fruits. (7) Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all
things.

2 Timothy 2:24-25 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
unto all men, apt to teach, patient, (25) In meekness instructing those that
oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the
acknowledging of the truth;

2Timothy 4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his
kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2Timothy 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions,
do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Titus 1:6-9 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
children not accused of riot or unruly. (7) For a bishop must be blameless, as
the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no
striker, not given to filthy lucre; (8) But a lover of hospitality, a lover of
good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; (9) Holding fast the faithful word as he
hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to
convince the gainsayers.

Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
authority. Let no man despise thee.

Hebrews 12:12-13 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
knees; (13) And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be
turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Hebrews 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto
you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation.

Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do
it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 18 Pray for
us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live
honestly.

Hebrews 13:24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
saints. They of Italy salute you.

James 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we
shall receive the greater condemnation.

1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any
man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all
things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion
forever and ever. Amen.

1Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but
of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being
ensamples to the flock.

Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which
remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and
repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Life Long Commitment

Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and
the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is
lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace
of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many
be defiled; 16 Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who
for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

Love

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. 31 And
the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
There is none other commandment greater than these.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
cleave to that which is good.

Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet-smelling savour.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things [put on] charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.

1Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a
pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:

1John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither
in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe
on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.

1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

1John 4:21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who
loveth God love his brother also.

2John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a
new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we
love one another. 6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This
is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in
it.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Marriage

Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

1 Corinthians 7:2-5 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have
his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. (3) Let the husband
render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the
husband. (4) The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and
likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. (5)
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may
give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt
you not for your incontinency.

1 Corinthians 7:28-35 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a
virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the
flesh: but I spare you. (29) But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it
remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; (30) And
they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they
rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; (31) And they
that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth
away. (32) But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth
for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: (33) But he
that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please
his wife. (34) There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in
body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world,
how she may please her husband. (35) And this I speak for your own profit; not
that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may
attend upon the Lord without distraction.

1 Corinthians 7:36-38 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely
toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let
him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. (37) Nevertheless he that
standeth steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his
own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth
well. (38) So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth
her not in marriage doeth better.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own
husbands, as unto the Lord. (23) For the husband is the head of the wife, even
as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. (24)
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own
husbands in every thing.

Ephesians 5:25-28 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (26) That he might sanctify and
cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (27) That he might present it
to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish. (28) So ought men to love their
wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular
so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her]
husband.

Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own
husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not
bitter against them.

1Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won
by the conversation of the wives;

1Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according
to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as
being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,

fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the

kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19 But when

preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are
not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of

be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh

trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his
glory shall be Revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be
reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and
of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he
is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or
[as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 Yet if [any man
suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this
behalf.

will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a

life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye
shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after
all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye

drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the
law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Personal Relationships – Enemies

Matthew 5:25-26 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou
art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the

which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as [it is] in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft

seven.

thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the

love thy neighbour as thyself.

and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,

word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto

heathen man and a publican.

in thy brother's eye.

walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ
died. 16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18
For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable to God, and approved
of men. 19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and

offence.

the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

knees; (13) And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be
turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Prayer

Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the
corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you,
They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use
not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be
heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done
in earth, as [it is] in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened.

Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he

he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive
us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us
not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every
one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh
it shall be opened.

therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

time:

Priorities

where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20

thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the
branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be
not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take
heed] lest he also spare not thee.

minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

Relationship with God – Chastening

profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy
whole body should be cast into hell.

candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Revelation2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.

obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling.

the dead according to my gospel:

fear: (18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible

doing.

unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,

that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

Sin – Controlling the sinful nature

Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better
for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into
the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the
fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better
for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell,
into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and
the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is
better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two
eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is
not quenched.

Romans 6:11-13 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign
in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither
yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness unto God.

Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old
man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; (23) And be renewed in
the spirit of your mind; (24) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in righteousness and true holiness.

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon
the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Spiritual Education

Mark 4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he
said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Mark 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Galatians 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate
unto him that teacheth in all good things.

1Thessalonians 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle
be read unto all the holy brethren.

1 Timothy 1:3-5 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went
into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other
doctrine, (4) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. (5) Now
the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good
conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

1Timothy 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all
subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.

1Timothy 4:11 These things command and teach. 12 Let no man
despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give
attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift that
is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of
the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that
thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the
doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and
them that hear thee.

2Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among
many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach
others also.

2Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things.

2Timothy 2:14 Of these things put [them] in remembrance,
charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit,
[but] to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth. 16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto
more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus;

2Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not
strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Titus 2:6-8 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. (7) In all things
showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness,
gravity, sincerity, (8) Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is
of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

Spiritual Gifts

Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace
that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the
proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he
that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that
giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

1Corrinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet
shew I unto you a more excellent way.

1Corrinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual
[gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.

1Corrinthians 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of
spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may
interpret.

1Corrinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue,
[let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one
interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the
church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 Let the prophets speak two
or three, and let the other judge. 30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that
sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one,
that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

1Corrinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the
churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded]
to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any
thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak
in the church.

1Corrinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet,
or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the
commandments of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40
Let all things be done decently and in order.

1Thessalonians 5:20 Despise not prophesyings.

1Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Spiritual Warfare

Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying,
Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto
them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:
and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not,
that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names
are written in heaven.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and
in the power of his might.

Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (13)
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: (18) Praying always with
all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation.

1 Timothy 1:18-19 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to
the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good
warfare; (19) Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away
concerning faith have made shipwreck:

2 Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

2Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast
in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your
brethren that are in the world.

Stealing

Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let
him labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have
to give to him that needeth.

Submission

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me.

Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear
of God.

1Timothy 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count
their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine
be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise
[them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they
are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and
exhort.

1Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the
Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as
unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the
praise of them that do well.

1Peter 2:18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all
fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won
by the conversation of the wives;

1Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the
elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with
humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Swearing

Matthew 5:33-37 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by
them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the
Lord thine oaths: (34) But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
for it is God's throne: (35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither
by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. (36) Neither shalt thou
swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. (37) But
let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil.

James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not,
neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your
yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation

Taxes

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto
them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God
the things that are God's.

Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar
the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they
marveled at him.

Luke 20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar
the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be God's.

Romans 13:6-7 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all
their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom
fear; honor to whom honor.

Teaching

1Peter 4:11 If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of
God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Temptation

Matthew 5:29-30 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out,
and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. (30) And if
thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is
profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
whole body should be cast into hell.

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut
them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life
halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into
everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it]
from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than
having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Mark 9:43-48 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is
better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into
hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (44) Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. (45) And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off:
it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast
into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (46) Where their worm
dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (47) And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one
eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: (48) Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched.

Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

Luke 22:40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them,
Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

Galatians 5:16 [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

2Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.

Hebrews 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in
the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Hebrews 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his
voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into
divers temptations; 3 Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh
patience. 4 But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of
God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom
resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are
accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Testimony

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to
give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you
with meekness and fear:

1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you,
as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation
in Christ.

Thankfulness

Ephesians 5:3-4 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it
not be once named among you, as becometh saints; (4) Neither filthiness, nor
foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of
thanks.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

1Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore.

1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Ephesians 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man
truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Understanding

1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in
malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding
what the will of the Lord is.

Widows

1Timothy 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4 But if any
widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and
to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

1Timothy 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under
threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 Well reported of for
good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if
she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she
have diligently followed every good work. 11 But the younger widows refuse: for
when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry,
bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.

1Timothy 5:16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows,
let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve
them that are widows indeed.

Wisdom

Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding
what the will of the Lord [is].

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave
of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he
shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James 3:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among
you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Works

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to
good works:

Jam 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show
out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Revelation3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain that are
ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Work Ethic

Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor,
working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him
that needeth.

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the
Lord, and not unto men;

1Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do
your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12 That
ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack
of nothing.

2Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we
commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear
that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are
busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus
Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 But ye,
brethren, be not weary in well doing.

Titus 3:14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for
necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

Worry

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your
life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye
shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we
eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is]
the evil thereof.

Matthew 10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than
many sparrows.

Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see
that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end
is not yet.

Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them
that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will
forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power
to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God.

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

1Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for
you.

Worship

Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:
for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.

Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind
me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve.

Romans 15:11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and
laud him, all ye people.

1Corrinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of
praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his
name.

Hebrews 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is well pleased.

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he
said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren
that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not:
for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which
keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him;
for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

In the fall of 2007, Willow Creek church released the results of
their three million dollar research into the effectiveness of
their church program and 30 other churches. They were shocked to
find that they were not bringing people to spiritual maturity.
What they thought would produce spiritual maturity was not. They
believed that the more people participated in church programs the
greater spiritual maturity it would produce. They found that the
amount of involvement in church programs had no correlation with
the depth of someone’s spiritual maturity. What makes this
mistake so significant is that Willow Creek is a church that has
12,000 churches in their Willow Creek Association, and has taught
thousands of pastors how to “do church” to produce
church growth. To some degree, Willow Creek Church has influenced
how most churches today “do church”. “And if
the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
(Matthew 15:14)

What is the answer to helping people come to maturity in
Christ? Take another look at the Great Commission. The answer is
there. We have been focusing on the first part of the commission
– evangelism – and have overlooked the second half
thinking we know what it is saying. But look again at what Jesus
says in giving us the Great Commission: “Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,
I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world.
Amen.” (Matthew 28:19) The missing key to spiritual
maturity is teaching others Christ’s commands in the New
Testament and teaching them to follow the commands. An excellent
subject for Bible study is to take each of Christ’s
commands and study them. There is a list of Christ’s commands on this website.

Discipleship, Spiritual Maturity, and Christ’s Commands

Jesus defines a disciple as one who follows His commands. A person who is spiritually mature is one who knows Christ’s teachings in the New Testament and who follows them with all his or her heart, soul, mind and strength. The following passages of Scripture over and over stress the importance of doing what Jesus says to do:

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

2 Corinthians 2:9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

Galatians 5:7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

The most significant subject facing the Church: The Bible and what has been removed, added and changed in modern translations in the name of scholarship. When two different translations say different things, which one is truth?

Millions of Christians in the last several years are totally rethinking what ’church’ is and are looking for a deeper relationship with Christ. Much of what defines what the conventional church is, how people are fed spiritually, and how money is spent by the church does not have a specific basis in Scripture.

The songs that we sing and listen to permanently shape our understanding of who God is and what the Christian life is all about. Educators readily recognize that information in song form is easier to remember. Songs that children learn are remembered the rest of their lives.

The practical application of the Bible, the real meat, for us as Christians is Christ’s Commands. Learn how to carry out the second half of the Great Commission - ’Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.’

There are a whole range of English Bible translations to choose from, and more keep coming out. Which Bible translation is the best one to study, meditate on, and use for our guide in faith and practice?

There are a lot of false teachings about the head covering, false teachings that have been passed from commentary to commentary, from professor to student, from pastor to lay person. We have heard them so often many believe them to be true, but research shows clearly that they are false.

Singing is a very essential part of our worship of God and needs to be a part of every house church. Our desire is to help you as best we can to make a beautiful, joyful sound in singing praises to our God. God loves singing, and loves to hear us sing praises to Him.

The church has a lot of ’answers’ about divorce and remarriage, but still many people feel like they don’t have God’s answer. After doing the research for this report, I had to ask, ’Why didn’t we see this before?’

There is a debate among Christians: Is music itself amoral? That question, while appropriate to ask, is actually viewing music from the wrong perspective, or more specifically from too limited a perspective. It is amazing how much of the debate centers around the opinions of people and very little is based on the Bible.

The answer for the Spiritual education of our children in the home church. In the House church we have the freedom to look at what God’s design is for the spiritual education of the children and implement that rather than feeling like we have to make our home church a small replica of the conventional Sunday school.
